Re: My CB200 Build - AKA "Incognito" - UPDATE MARCH 15 - OUTDOOR PHOTOS Awesomeness has been achieved...I love it

threw some parts together to get an idea of what it will look like... gotta say i like it. The rear shock are an inch longer than stock so it looks like i might have to do one of those idler sprocket thingies. ;D i am going with the 17 tooth sprocket in the front though, so i might be able to...

Made a little progress this week, not much...better than nothing. Received my order from Dime City two days ago ;D Those guys are awesome. Super exited to get some work done. cleaned and repacked both sets of wheel bearings, mounted my vice in the basement, trying to set up a crude truing...

I like the factory spoked aluminum rims, it'll be interesting to see what you do with this bike

Wow , just saw the video you posted on your 360 build about the lacing, that could've saved me a few hours. :P got my rear shocks yesterday,did some work on the triple clamp, applied some MORE bondo... It's a good day

Gonna try and true them myself cuz i'd like to learn how, but if i can't, i gotta find someone to do it

New pics, laced the front wheel, put a little bondo on, received my cheap inductance type tach bought on ebay.

Started lacing the rims this weekend, wow, what a bitch. Never have before on a motorcycle , only a bicycle, still have yet to true and balance the assemblies... :P Once i get the bare frame completely stripped and textured, i plan on coating it with this...

I like those ideas, but i'm still not sure what i'm gonna do yet, except finish both tanks, then decide. :-\ Received my tax return this week, put in my order from dime city, still a lot of work to do. Also my aluminum rims arrived yesterday...Yay! They're not a heck of a lot lighter than...

Having a bit of a tank crisis because i did something retarded this weekend, earlier i had the brainstorm to add knee dents to my perfect tank. I knew i would have to be very careful if i wanted to keep it bare metal because the slightest dent would show, well here's what i ended up with. :-[...

Just curious if anybody knows for sure, but i was thinking that since the 350 crank is a 180 degree crank, the uneven exhaust pulses would make the 2 into 1 unable to fully take advantage of exhaust scavenging. One cylinder might benefit a little while the other cylinder might even suffer. just...

I was trying to think of an easy way to make the original badge mounts on the tank more "better looking" ,so i cut some strips from the donor tank, stripped and roughly polished them, then glued 'em to the tank. looks better than before. Also started de-spoking the rims for a good...

Worked on the seat today. First time making one like this. i think it turned out ok, I still need to shape the foam a little better and the vinyl i used is super thin.

Gonna keep it brushed, probably going to clear the frame, but going to use some kinda metal protectant on the tank and cowl, some people at work have suggested Rem oil gun oil or even just plain car wax. Either way i'm definitely going to have to keep it outta the weather as much as possible...

Then again maybe it looks ok like this, at first i thought it looked kinda like putting a band-aid on a war wound but i think it's growing on me.

I'm thinking about going bare with the frame as well, not sure yet . Here's the latest pics. The cowl is going to be mounted farther back then that and i need to find someone in the area with a TIG welder to fill in the original badge mount underneath the wings so i can smooth it out. I was...

Glad you like it, here's some pics i took recently.

I quickly realized polishing by hand is a pain in the ass and fingertips

i pity the fool who makes a shop rag outta me!

Hi all, A friend gave me this bike about 4 years ago, recently decided to add it to my collection of unfinished projects. I'm going minimalist on this build, bare metal showing as much as possible and lots of weight loss . I've been working on it for 3 months on and off, anyway...
